Before your movie is completely ready for output some preprocessing will usually be required. In general, Pinnacle Studio will need to ‘render’ (generate video frames in the output format) any transitions, titles, disc menus and video effects you’ve added to your movie. Any files generated during the rendering process are stored in the auxiliary files folder, whose location you can set in the application settings window.

For output to file or to the Cloud, you have the option of exporting only a selected portion of your movie. In the Exporter Player area, adjust the trim markers to indicate which part of the movie you want to export.
